Android to explore Asia : Far Eastone to offer Android devices in Taipei

As per a report by Taipei Times, Far Eastone, the  nation’s third biggest telecom operator is planning to launch not one, but two or three Android devices by the year end. “We are in talks with more than five potential partners, in Taiwan and abroad, to sell Android phones,” Roger Chen, a vice president at Far EasTone, said at a press conference.

This could prove to be a very big boost for Google as Telecom industry is one of the biggest and one of the fastest growing industries in Asia. Also, as Android is an open-source Operating System, it reduces the prices of the devices. So, this could be a really big advantage for Android in the Asian market.
